FSU OUT AGAIN!!!!!!!! What do the seminoles have to do to satisfy the damn committee?? Last year they tell them to play a better schedule, this year they do, end up with a better overall record and more quality wins, and they're out again.. I just don't get it. Surprised that 'Cuse got left out too.

Drexel got Hofstra'd. The committee should go find new jobs. I realize you can't make everybody happy, but Drexel has done EVERYTHING you could possibly do as a mid-major to get into the tournament, short of finishing better in the conference. If they got shafted due to a 4th place finish, the committee should have realized that the CAA's top 4 teams this year were extremely competitive and GOOD. 3 Colonial teams should be in without question.

Sorry, just watched one of the committee guys defend his decision on CBS, and in his own words, it came down to ODU's better conference record by "a significant margin"

2 games is a significant margin?

Why is there such an emphasis put on out-of-conference schedules if the committee is just gonna knock teams out based on conference play? And aren't teams supposed to be discussed without mention of their conference, but rather just on pure record and stats?

I argued all week that Syracuse wasn't necessarily safe. Of course, I can't brag too much, though, because I had them in my final field as well. And I had Stanford out. But if you really look at it, I think the committee made the right decision in that case. Other mistake I made was putting in Florida State (I should have known since I was one of the only ones) and leaving out Arkansas. That one still surprises me. But I think it's defensible.

YESSSSS!!!! Virginia in as a 4 SEED?!?! I was hoping for a 6. Its too good to be true. Well as long as they're in over V-Tech. Albany in the first round is pretty easy but Tennessee in the 2nd... tough. GO HOOS!

I can't understand at all why Florida is the number one overall seed and in the St. Louis region while Ohio State is number three overall and in the San Antonio region. The first thing the committee is supposed to do when bracketing is assign regions to the one seeds. Florida should have been South, Ohio St. should have been Midwest... I thought at first it was a mistake by CBS.

Bracketology 101 has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Wall Street Journal and on ESPN Radio affiliates across the country. The site is designed to serve as a more reliable, more accurate alternative to the Bracketology selections of other major sports websites.
Rather than predict teams based on the season ending today, or make wild predictions of the future, Bracketology 101 uses a unique "projection-prediction" method of selecting teams, giving fans a much more realistic idea of where their favorite teams stand in the eyes of the selection committee.
While other bracketologists favor conferences or teams or rely entirely on RPI rankings in making their picks, we factor in a team's resume as a whole - big wins, bad losses, in and out-of-conference wins, upcoming schedules, conference tournament sites, and each team's overall strengths and weaknesses compared to other teams on the bubble. Our "Field of 68" is updated every Monday throughout the season, with daily updates coming during Championship Week.

The 40-60 Club

On top of correctly predicting 64 of the 65 tournament teams in 2008, Bracketology 101 also became the first bracketology site to ever seed 40 teams exactly and 60 teams within one seed line of their actual seed. Through 2010, we are the only bracketology site to earn this distinction.
